With cognitive computing, we are now able to interact with everyday objects in ways that were deemed
impossible. In this session, we will demonstrate the power of cognitive Internet of Things and the Cloud
platform to securely connect and manage devices, analyze data, and apply cognitive services to add
human-like interaction.
Leveraging cognitive services for sentiment, tone, and visual analysis invoked from IoT/robotics
platforms and Voice UI interface we will show how you can quickly and securely turn a simple idea into
reality by transforming a regular robot vacuum into a cognitive-enabled smart device.
Tools in Action: Transforming everyday objects with the power of deeplearning services on cloud

the capability of a machine to imitate
intelligent human behavior
Cognitive computing is the simulation of
human thought processes in a
computerized model. Cognitive
computing involves self-learning systems
that use data mining, pattern recognition
and natural language processing to mimic
the way the human brain works.

8. DEMO:
The request made on Bluemix
through Node-Red flow triggers the
Raspberry Pi camera (Raspcam)
The Raspberry Pi based Node-Red
flow uploads the picture in the
Cloudant DB, and sends the message
over MQTT protocol with help of IBM
Watson IOT Platform to the other
Node-Red flow on Bluemix
8
The Bluemix flow gets
the picture from the
database and sends it
to Watson Visual
Recognition for
analysis – it produces
the information on the
faces found, and the
age of people on
picture
9. 9
The mobile app uses Speech to Text to get information on
Weather Forecast and showing a picture via Cloud.
To present the information on Weather the app uses
Watson Text to Speech. In addition to Weather the app
tells what are the golf conditions.
